4/25/2016 0 Comments Am I Dropping Out of School?Long story short: no, I'm not. But, I am going to be taking the next two semesters away from campus doing a handful of exciting things. I figured I would take some time to explain a little about what the next 12 months has in store for me, in the case there were some out there interested in such information. Summer 2016No big surprise here - I'll be spending my summer at the YMCA for the 16th summer in a row. But not before I take a road trip to Colorado for a week and spend some time hiking in New Hampshire! Mid-summer I will also be spending a week in London! Fall 2016Fall 2016 I will be living at home. I will be interning at AMC Publications, working on the AMC Outdoors Magazine. I will be editing and fact-checking articles as well as writing my own! AMC will also be sponsoring a semester-long research project which I will turn into a longer piece for the magazine or a multi-media project for the website. I will also be spending the semester doing research for my thesis. This research will take place over two semesters and is focused on the communication of climate change in Iceland and how we might apply their tactics to better educate America on this extremely important topic. I will also be taking a class or two online to push forward with my schooling (I will be getting class credit for the internship and the research as well). In addition, I will be working weekends to earn money for the next big adventure... Spring 2017This is where the REAL fun begins. Victoria Carrier and I are jetting off to Asia to explore a new continent for a few months. We are hoping to spend time in India, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. In each country we will be working in places like sustainable farms or animal sanctuaries in exchange for food and shelter. On the way home we hope to stop in Iceland for several weeks so that I can do further research on my thesis. After that, I'm not quite sure what's in store. But I know that I will come back to Umass in the Fall 2017 to finish up my three majors and get my degree at last. It's going to be a fun year!
